Ice-penetrating sonobuoys?

fatty · 03-08-07, 07:37 PM

I am preparing a paper on Arctic sovereignty patrols. I have found what I guess is a patent for air-delivered, ice-penetrating sonobuoys. I found a bibliography referencing Barrette, J. Rene and John Courtenay Lewis. “Ice-penetrating Sonobuoy System Breaks the High Arctic Barrier,” Sea Technology 29(10):63-67 October 1988 however I do not have access to this article.

I am curious, does anyone know if air-delivered, ice-penetrating sonobuoys really exist? How well could/do they work? Have they ever been deployed in any military?

EDIT: Damn, I meant to post this in general topics. Could a mod please move? Thanks.
